Norvac Electronic Parts — Local services in Salem

Shops like this are a local treasure. As a DIY speaker builder, I was a frequent customer for various parts and electronics connectors at their old location and was sincerely happy to find out that they simply moved and were still around. If you cringe at paying $30 for a coaxial cable splitter at a box store, give this place a call because Jim is highly knowledgeable, his prices are fair and from top to bottom, the store caters to DIY electronics enthusiasts. Need a custom length of coaxial cable because you moved your TV? Jim will custom make you a cable any length you want, and it will cost you a fraction of what a national chain store charges, IF they even have it in stock. So before you shrug and start searching on Amazon for an old electronics part, call here first. Keep your money in the community and support these types of stores that are becoming far too rare. 5/5, I...

Definitely worth checking out if you need some sort of component or cable. Their prices were really good, too. I can tell why they have such high...

its ok i guess, 80% of the stuff they sell is like NOS (new old stock) pshh, what? they dont carry standard value components either, every time i go in there for a standard value component, 100 ohm 3 watt resistor, for example they don have it but they can order it, well so can i. most of their stuff is like weird super high value parts for computers etc. 100 meg resistors, 1000000pf caps etc, hmm. they are on the expensive side too for selling such outdated parts. this is my experience in the salem store, never been to the others. on the positive side, they are the only place you can walk into and get an electronic part if youre lucky, here in salem. check em out, you...
